How Much Do I Love You?

How much do I love you?

Let me count the ways

I love you truer than true

Bluer than the ocean blue

Bluer than the skies of days

How much do I love you?

Let me give you a clue

My heart plays. My head obeys

I love you truer than true

Like only I could do

It’s more than just a passing phase

How much do I love you?

Enough to last a lifetimes few

A love that never ever strays

I love you truer than true

And I hope you love me too

For my love never decays

How much do I love you?

I love you truer than true

A Friend For Life

I never had a family
No friends or children or wife
Then I looked deep inside
And I found a friend for life
I never had a God
No faith, religion or belief
Then I found deep inside
A hope to fight my grief
I never had anything
That’s what I always thought
But I am all I need
I am all I’ve got

God’s Favourite Child

Paint it on my death bed

Paint it on my forehead

Paint it anywhere you want

Paint it as I’ve said

He handled my affairs

I’ve had my share of care

I know He always listened

He always answered my prayers

Keep me safe from harm

Keep me safe and warm

Call me in your tender home

Call me in your arms

He freed me from my chains

Kept me from sin and men

Pulled me through the darkest nights

So I’ll sing again

Paint it on my death bed

Paint it on my forehead

Paint it anywhere you want

Paint it as I’ve said

Into A River I Plunged My Soul – Part 2

Into a river I plunged my soul
Naked and neck-deep
The strong tides made me lose control
And away she did sweep

Birthdays Are A Farce

Birthdays are like marriages

You smile and celebrate

While you know the victim

Has just lost his fate

For suffering is dense

And happiness is sparse

Birthdays are like marriages

Birthdays are a farce

​Six Words Story #9

Truth will destroy me once again

I Wish I Was A Better Man

I wish I was a drop of rain

Falling down on earth

When I die I’ll feel no pain

For all that I was worth

I wish I was a little bird

With wings to soar the sky

Every morning I’ll be heard

As I sing and fly

I wish I was a better man

With no sin against my name

For I won’t be praying then

To help me heal my shame

A Storm Passed Me By

A storm passed me by
Left me hurt and wounded
Yet I sang my song
For love still remained
A storm passed me by
Left me empty-handed
Yet I sang a song
For love still remained
Now no matter what storm passes
I will sing my song
There’s nothing more to lose
Love remains

No More Work For Me

Here I am at my desk

Doing my regular work

I’m doing the best I can

Trying not to be a jerk

There’s so much work to be done

So many files to complete

So many people to please

So many deadlines to meet

Is this what I was born for?

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow

There is so much pressure

That it gives me a fright

I think about it at home

I think about it at night

I try to catch some sleep

But it is just no good

I do what I shouldn’t

I smile when I should

Yell and say, “I can’t take it anymore”

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow

I feel like a robot

Doing the same old stuff

Except that it gets harder

Except that it gets tough

For I have no motivation

I have no regards

For work that is perfectly

Suitable for retards

I should have quit this place a long time ago

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow

The screen’s getting blurry

The keyboard’s laughing at me

The mouse is getting squeaky

Is this where I should be?

The pen refuses to write

The fingers refuse to type

The head knows not what is right

Is this all a massive hype?

Don’t you feel sorry for my sorrow?

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow

I’ve got a solution

I’d quit and I’ll resign

I don’t give a damn

I won’t stay here till nine

I’d spend time with my kids

I’d spend time with my wife

I’d do all that I love

I’d go out and live my life

So I grab my boss’ collar and let him know

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow

The Sky Is Pouring Fire

The sky is pouring fire
Every drop is burning my skin
Like a wretched liar
That leaks of sins within
Futile it is to seek
A shelter for the flames inside
‘Tis better not to speak
And let the truth decide
What is written in my fate
Should I run or should I wait
What is right and what is not
What is lost and what is got
